The Internet of Risky Things

In the aftermath of the Oct 21 Internet attacks, the New York Times writes of "A New Era of Internet Attacks Powered by Everyday Devices." One observer noted that society needs an "Unsafe at Any Speed" for this new era of the Internet of Things. Fortunately, Dartmouth Professor Sean Smith (Director of ISTS) has just written that—building on the work he and Prof Sergey Bratus have done on the smart grid, and on the Living/Learning course Smith taught in Summer 2015 in collaboration with DEN and ResEd.

Dartmouth's capacity to advance its dual mission of education and research depends upon the full diversity and inclusivity of this community. We must increase diversity, particularly among our faculty and staff. As we do so, we must also create a community in which every individual, regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, disability, nationality, political or religious views, or position within the institution, is respected. On this close-knit and intimate campus, we must ensure that every person knows that he, she, or they is a valued member of our community.
